Reiseführer Ägypten – Das Niltal von Kairo bis Abu Simbel

Discover and experience Egypt from Cairo to Abu Simbel on your own: all the important sights, travel information from A to Z, and practical tips for trip preparation.

The travel section provides detailed descriptions of the three major cities: Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan, as well as all other provinces in the Nile Valley. In addition to the attractions in the provincial capitals, the authors recommend excursions to highlights in the surrounding areas.

Explorer tours off the beaten tourist paths to largely unknown destinations such as pharaonic temples, tombs, and quarries, as well as Coptic monasteries and churches or impressive mosques.

Information on opening hours, entrance fees, photography rules, and how to get to each destination. Around 300 vetted accommodations, over 200 restaurants and cafés, and detailed maps of the Nile Valley, where all described destinations can be easily found.

Interesting facts and background information about the land and its people, geography, climate, culture, history, and present day. Plus everything important about cruises and sailing on the Nile and Lake Nasser.

The sights and places are also printed in Arabic script – travelers only need to point to the Arabic name in case of communication difficulties. A glossary and a phrasebook assist with understanding and communication challenges.
